As the title says, looking for some feedback from anyone who has tried this tire. Priced between the Kumho MX and the ADVAN's, a few good reviews on Tire Rack, but none from RX8 drivers.

 

Saw these featured in the latest Tire Rack mailer. I'm interested in them as well and would consider using them as my next street/track tire.

 

and so's the performance

 

wanted to get those, but ended up getting the direzza dz101's. theyre awesome tires.

 

Ja, that was my conclusion. Fine for the street, but not good enough for the track.

 

True of any good street tire.

 

Are we all talking about the new Z1? With the 200 UTQG?




Looks like a promising street/track tire.

Tirerack test, take it for what it's worth. It looks like a good budget alternative to the Advan Neova, but if you want the best ST compound you still have to pay to play. It does look like it'll threaten the RE-01R more based on Tirerack's findings as the RE-01R is a good dual use tire that is still kind of pricey.

 

I'll take bridgestone over dunlop every day, regardless of price.

 

I have the Dunlop Sport 3D...new and so far so good! No slipping...Sorry this is a winter tire....

 

I have a set of Dunlop's, and I think they might be Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 (got car used and they were recently put on), but ill check and get back to you sat.

 

I read some good reviews for these. Dunlop actually gave a few BMW owners some test sets during Oktoberfest this year and everyone liked them. I doubt they're quite as sticky as the AD07 or RE01R but probably on a level playing field with something like the Hankook RS2, RT615 falken etc.

 

I am a noob here. I saw this post and figured I'd chime in on my favorite tires.

Hello everyone :D

I had these on my previous car (a heavily [suspension wise] modified 2007 Corolla S). I ran these Z1's (I work for Goodyear so I got them dirt cheap as soon as they were released in the US) and I thought they were spectacular. Before that I ran Direzza DZ101's and RT-615's, all 205/55R16 (except for the RT-615 was 225/50R16) on low (for a Corolla) offset 16x7 +33 Flik FTD's. The Z1's don't make a peep around corners, and I felt they handled almost as well as the RT-615's. The price is the big draw to them.
